Two professors have found the potential for furtherance of the issues worthy of publication.

Beth Felker Jones, author of Touched by a Vampire, is an Assistant Professor of Theology at Wheaton College in Illinois and the author ofMark of His Wounds: Gender Politics and Bodily Resurrection.

Her book Touched by a Vampire, promises to explore the Twilightseries "through a biblical lens." According to the product description, "Some Christian readers have praised moral principles illustrated in the story, such as premarital sexual abstinence . . . But ultimately, Beth Felker Jones examines whether the story's redemptive qualities outshine its darkness." Its so-called darkness, it seems, is latent in its afilliation with its "teaching girls about love, sex, and purpose." Accordingly, the question is raised "Can vampires teach us about God's plan for love?"

Similarly, but worlds apart still, Rebecca Housel (a writing and literature professor at Rochester Institute of Technology) and J. Jeremy Wisnewski (an Assistant Professor of Philosophy who also wroteFamily Guy and Philosophy: A Cure for the Petarded, The Office and Philosophy: Scenes from the Unexamined Life, X-Men and Philosophy: Astonishing Insight and Uncanny Argument in the Mutant X-Verse, and other academic books) have created Twilight and Philosophy: Vampires, Vegetarians, and the Pursuit of Immortality. Twilight and Philosophy has just been released in paperback on Amazon.com, and it promises to address questions such as "What can vampires tell us about the meaning of life?" and "Is Bella a feminist?"

Dos profesores han encontrado el potencial para el fomento de temas dignos de publicación.

Beth Felker Jones, autor de Toched by a Vampire (Tocado por un Vampiro) promete explorar la Saga de Twilight “a través de lentes bíblicas”. De acuerdo con la descripción del producto, “Algunos lectores cristianos han alabado principios morales ilustrados en la historia, como la abstinencia antes del matrimonio…Pero últimamente, Beth Felker Jones examina si la historia tiene cualidades redentorias que brillan en su oscuridad.” Su tan llamada oscuridad, parece ser, es talento en su afiliación con su “enseñanza a las chicas acerca de amor, sexo y propósito.” Por consiguiente la preguta que se levanta es: ¿pueden los vampiros enseñarnos acerca de los planes de Dios para el amor?

Del mismo modo, pero en mundos separados aún, Rebecca Husel y Jeremy Wisnewski han creado ‘Twilight and Philosophy: Vampires, Vegetarians and the pursuit of inmottality (Crepúsculo y Filofosía: Vampiros, Vegetarianos y la búsqueda de la Inmortalidad). Twilight and Philosophy ha salido ya y esta a la venta en Amazon y promete tratar preguntas como: ¿Qué pueden decirnos los vampiros acerca del significado de la vida? Y ¿Es Bella feminista?
